Welcome from Julian Schuster, Provost and Senior Vice President

Hello, my name is Julian Schuster, and I am the Provost, Senior Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer at Webster University. I'm absolutely delighted to welcome
you, today, to our community. A community of dedicated teachers, scholars, colleagues,
all working toward one goal - to make educational experiences of our students memorable
and meaningful.

At Webster, we have many resources, and I urge you to use those resources. Go to the
Faculty Development Center, stop by the Academic Resource Center, visit the library,
talk to the people in Student Affairs, and above all, talk to your colleagues, to
your faculty colleagues, hear and learn from their stories, because their stories
will enable you to make bigger and better impact on the lives of our students.

We are a truly global university, and within the global university we have a network
of resources, which are all again at your disposal. Use those resources. Learn from
the people far away, because their experiences, their stories, will enrich lives of
your students and make you most successful as you are contributing in making this
university a better place.

Again, thank you very much for choosing Webster University. I look forward to meeting
you in person, to learn about you, to hear your stories, your experiences, because
those experiences, now, will become part of the Webster University. Good luck and
I look forward to seeing you.
